Although it did not chart on either the traditional United Kingdom or United States charts, it received considerable time on the dance charts. It peaked at number 19 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1981, along with Modern Love Is Automatic. The uptempo beat featuring power chords and heavy synth, along with the futuristic lyrics, has enabled the song to reach cult status. The song is noteworthy because the band eschewed the guitar-laden choruses many songs of this period had (e.g. power ballad), and instead relied on percussion arpeggios and multi-layered sounds. The effect is not unlike what is known as the Wall of Sound effect, although unlike recordings of Phil Spector (who expressed interest in the band, calling them %22phenomenal%22), A Flock of Seagulls recorded in stereo." . _:b405227786 . _:b405227787 . _:b405227784 . _:b403167652 "fall" . _:b405227785 . _:b405227798 . _:b405227799 . _:b405227796 . _:b405227797 . _:b405227775 . _:b405227794 . _:b405227795 . _:b405227792 . _:b405227793 . _:b405227806 . _:b405227807 . _:b405227752 . _:b405227804 . _:b405227805 .
